Black violet color. Aromas and flavors of black plum, figs and blackberry preserves, leather, and wet granite with a thick, tangy, dry full body and a warming, layered, long finish with notes of cherry wood smoked brisket burnt ends, leather and butcher paper, pipe tobacco, and currants with chewy tannins and light oak flavor. A crowd pleasing table red that will pair well with steak and bbq.

While Portugal is best known for its production of Port wines, there are several types of red wine also produced in various regions. The best known of these include the robust reds produced from varieties that are used to produce Port, varieties such Touriga Nacional and Tinta Cao. These wines are produced in the Dour Valley and are ripe with black fruit flavors; the wines generally have slightly low acidity, due to the hot local climate. Drink these wines with rich red meats, game or aged cheeses.
